Hello - Newbie Here :)

I'm sure everyone here can sympathize with my own journey in finding out that I have an allergy to wheat, so I will spare you the details. Today is day 2 of being gluten free, well... sort of. I did follow the diet 9 years ago at age 17 for a few months after a false-negative test result for Celiac's Disease. Yet, at 17, immature and undedicated, I gave up on the diet without a second thought. Though not long enough to experience any longterm effects; I am happy to say that today is the first day in I don't know how long, I haven't felt severe stomach pain or nausea, or had a flemmy coughing fit after eating a meal... Heck, I might even sleep tonight!!! :D

The difficult thing for me, however is while I am eating gluten free (went on a crazy shopping spree today, buying gluten free products from shampoo and conditioner to food) my husband experiences his very own set of digestive problems, similar in ways to my own given that he is supposed to avoid carbohydrates yet still, very different. Coping with both is going to be on the difficult side.

Happy to be here & looking forward to your advice!

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
